Bloggging, Flogging, 1st day of what ever!

Judie here, trying my hand at a blog.   Some folks say I should write a book about Denny's and my 14 years of adventures, of owning and running Buzzards Bar and Grill and La Fonda del Mar  Bed and Breakfast, in Los Cabos, Baja Ca.  Mexico. Easy says my friend Sofia, who has a wonderful Blog.  So, here I go!  Wrong,  just because I live in Dislexico the people at Google decided I needed all the blog instructions in Spanish, being computer impaired it only took me 2 hours to get this far!

Well, we sold the business and have retired to mainland Mexico.  Teacapan, Sinaloa to be exact. The name of my blog is, " Salsa! A little of this a little of that!" The subject of the blog will mainly be about our new experiences of moving to a nothing little Mexican Village after 14 years of the Cabo scene. Hoping to mix the new slow paced life style, building a new house, the old Buzzard Bar mayhem and some new recipes thrown in,  into something some folks may want to read. 


That my friends is "Salsa!  A little of this a little of that! "


Since I have sent out family and friend new letters for years, I am not going to repeat the reasons for the 6 week delay and the ferry and car trauma, I will start with arriving inTeacapan.

I am going to try to send a photo of the first place of business I visited, the Beauty Shop of course! I was in dire need of a pedicure! To compare Imagine the Paul Mitchell Salon and Rebecca in Los Cabos and de Belleza Angel  in Teacapan is like...well you can not compare. There was a hair washing sink, with no running water to it and a bucket under it. Condition?  You don't want to know!  The walls  had a natural cement block hue, sin plaster. There were many pretty hair posters covering up who knows what. A big mirror  with kiddy stickers all over it. And a huge display of Claws! I mean those 2 inch longfalse finger nails all painted with stars stripes and glitter. One set had the whole Lords Prayer written on it! I swear!


The owner looked about 12 and said sure she could help me,  put down her comic book, and filled an electric foot massage tub out in the yard with the hose.  She brought it in and plugged it in, and low and behold I was not electrocuted and really enjoyed the ice water bubbles...well kind of.


She got out her tools from a shoe box and Thank You, Thank You! soaked them all in straight alcohol while I was freezing my ass off in the comfort of the massaging ice water foot bath.  All  was going well and if I closed my eyes I could almost imagine Rebeca or Phyllis working on my feet. Until she got out that razor thing!  OMG! She went to work on my heels like Paul Rini grating Parmesan Cheese at Zacs!  And the floor around me looked just like someone had grated a bunch of Parmesan too.  Yikes!  No harm no foul, all toes painted purple and accounted for. One thing she didn't do was a massage and lotion after, but that was Ok, I was ready, I mean really ready to go home any way.  Oh the cost? $100.00 pesos about $8.50 U.S.


Two days later, Denny really needs a hair cut and so do I, so we go in search of the other shop with the "mature" owner. Given the condition of Angles sink, I warned Denny to wash his hair at home like I did.  Can't find the other shop, so go back to Angels. Different girl sitting it the chair working on blond hair extensions.  Turned out it was her little sister watching the shop that gave me the pedicure. How very nice!  I had to do a quick check again to make sure there were still 10 toes down there.  I went first, Denny followed and we both got good hair cuts.  I have no idea what the combs were cleaned in, but it has been a week and no cooties!  Cost $30.00 pesos each..about $2.50 U.S.


I hate to put a price tag on every thing, but I really think it is fun to compare. 


OK, now to post the photo. It is in my computer. I have no idea where this will end up. I guess on facebook, that is where I  read Sofia's and Marlos Blogs.

Hum do not see attach photo, Found it! Hope you can too!
